Another five-star quarterback is on the move and could be coming to the Big Ten as Hunter Johnson will transfer from Clemson and will consider several Big Ten schools, according to Chris Low of ESPN.

From ESPN.com:

Sources told ESPN's Adam Rittenberg that Northwestern and Purdue are two possible destinations for Johnson. His brother Cole played in few games as a reserve for Northwestern a few years ago.

Johnson was the nation's No. 1 pocket passing quarterback in the 2017 class. With his departure, five of the eight five-star quarterbacks in the 2015-17 recruiting classes transferred from the program they initially signed with, including Shea Patterson, who recently transferred from Ole Miss to Michigan.

That leaves only Josh Rosen, David Mills and Tua Tagovailoa with their original teams, and Tagovailoa recently confirmed he would have transferred if he didn't play during the second half of the 2018 national championship game.
